Abstract
The objective of this research is to develop a constitutive equation for the uniaxial monotonic and cyclic response of Rene’80 between the temperatures of 538C and 982C. The constitutive equation is accompanied by experimental data for the evaluation of the material constants. Extensive verification is achieved through the successful correlation of tensile and creep response and prediction of mechanical cycling experiments including mean stress shifts. These results also serve as a starting point for reformulating the model for the prediction of the high temperature multiaxial response of Rene’80 that includes torsion, proportional, and nonproportional uniaxial and torsional loading histories.
